Mini Caprese Bites

Ingredients

8 Yield: Makes appetizer servings
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
14 fresh small mozzarella cheese balls, cut into thirds*
32 (4- inch) wooden skewers**
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 thinly sliced fresh basil leaves

Preparation

1
Prep: 20 min. Grape tomatoes vary in size from week to week at the grocery store; some pints we found had only 24 while others had more than 40. Good news, you should still have enough mozzarella balls because they are generally sold in 8-oz. containers that have more than enough.
2
Kosher salt and pepper to taste1. Thread 1 tomato half, 1 piece of cheese, and another tomato half onto each skewer. Place skewers in a shallow serving dish.
3
Whisk together oil and next 3 ingredients. Drizzle oil mixture over skewers; sprinkle with basil and salt and pepper to taste.
4
Oz.) package fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, may be substituted.
5
Wooden picks may be substituted.
